Long-Term Traffic Alerts

Columbia Pike and Washington Boulevard

South Queen Street/I-395 Ramp Closure

South Queen Street will be closed to incoming and outgoing traffic until mid-2015, due to construction of the new Washington Boulevard Bridge. At the same time, the ramp to I-395 N and Washington Boulevard southbound (accessible via the signal at South Quinn Street) is also closed and traffic is being rerouted.

North Lynn Street

Construction has started on Central Place, with completion expected in 2017. The project is located along the heavily-used North Lynn and North Moore Streets and between Wilson Boulevard and 19th Street North.

Temporary parking closures will be in effect on North Lynn Street throughout the project to allow for an additional travel lane when needed.

Phase 3 and 6/7: Three travel lanes on North Lynn Street open only.

Phase 8/9 (Dates To Be Determined): Three travel lanes on North Lynn Street open only. North Moore Street will be limited to two bus lanes.

Detours

Commuters are advised to use alternate routes when traveling through Rosslyn to minimize impact. Alternative routes to the District of Columbia include Lee Highway to North Lynn Street, Arlington Boulevard to I-66, Glebe Road to Chain Bridge Road and George Washington Memorial Parkway.

Motorists traveling from U.S. Route 110 intending to use North Lynn Street will be detoured via North Kent Street to North 19th Street, and will access North Lynn Street at the North 19th Street intersection.

Crews may perform some of this work during evening hours to minimize the impact to businesses and motorists. Residents can expect some construction noise associated with this work. Businesses located along North Lynn Street remain open during construction.
